SQUAD NOTES
EDSALLHASLONGEVITYATUCONN UConn head coach RandyEdsall is in his 12th season in charge of the Huskies and he is tied for the seventh-longest tenured FBS coach at his current job. In addition to Edsall, Iowa's KirkFerentz (a UConn graduate) and Oklahoma's Bob Stoops were all hired for their current jobs heading into the 1999 season. Joe Paterno is in his 45th season at Penn State to lead the way. Edsall has now won 66 games at UConn, which ties him for the school record set by J.O. Christian (1934-49). Edsall holds the UConn school record for most games coached with 131 and broke the record of 121 held by Christian. Edsall is the fourth coach to lead the Huskies into 100 career games, joining Christian (121), Tom Jackson (119 from 1983-93) and Robert Ingalls (106 from 1952-63). CLOSECALLS UConn's five losses last season were by a combined 15 points and the Huskies have held fourth quarter leads in four of the five games. * Sept. 12 vs. North Carolina: UConn led 10-0 after three quarters, but gave up 12 fourth quarter points for the loss. The Tar Heels scored the winning points on a safety when UConn was called for holding in the endzone. * Oct. 10 vs. Pittsburgh: UConn led 21-3 late in the third quarter. Pittsburgh scored a TD with 12 seconds left in the third quarter and added a TD and field goal as time expired for the win. * Oct. 24 vs. West Virginia: UConn led 17-14 at halftime and took a 24-21 lead with 3:50 to go in the fourth on an 88-yard TD play. West Virginia came right back and scored on a 56-yard running play with 2:10 to go for the win. * Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers: UConn led 24-21 after taking their first lead of the game with 38 seconds to go. Rutgers scored on an 81-yard pass play for the 28-24 win. * Nov. 7 vs. Cincinnati: This time a UConn comeback fell short. UConn trailed 3010 at the half and 37-17 with 7:03 to go in the third.

BALLCONTROLISTHEKEY A telling sign of UConn's strong performance on both sides of the ball during its tenure as a FBS program has been its ability to both record and prevent long drives. Since the start of the 2002 season, UConn's offense has strung together 71 scoring drives of at least 80 yards while the Husky defense has surrendered just 49 such marches. UConn also holds a 19-5 advantage over its opponents in the number of 90-yard and over drives since becoming a I-A program. HUSKIESDOMINATINGONBOTHSIDESOFTHEBALL Over the past 89 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 58times. This stretch, like many UConn trends, dates back to a 28-24 loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26, 2002. CONNECTICUT'SFOURCAPTAINS The UConn team selected four team captains for the 2010 season, ScottLutrus and AnthonySherman (both for the second-consecutive year) and ZachHurdwith KendallReyes. JasperHoward, who passed away last season and would have been a senior in 2010, is an honorary captain.
OFFENSE NOTES
TODMANLEADSTHERUSHINGGAME Junior Jordan Todman (North Dartmouth, Mass.) is the leading returning rusher for the Huskies as herushedfor1,188yardslast year--thesixth-highestmarkinschoolhistory. He also teamed with the graduated Andre Dixon (who rushed for 1,093 yards in `09) to mark the first time UConn had two 1,000 yard rushers in the same season. UConn was just one of three FBS schools to have multiple 1,000 yard rushers last year. Todman was a Second Team All-BIG EAST performer in 2009 and became the 11th Husky to rush for 1,000 yards. His 235 carries in 2009 was the sixth-highest in school history and his 14 rushing TDs is tied for fifth. Todman had five 100-yard rushing performances last season, including three of the last four regular season games. He was named a preseason candidate for the Doak Walker Award, given to the top running back in the nation.

FRAZERATTHEQBPOSITION Senior ZachFrazerleads the Huskies at the top spot at quarterback as the 2010 season opens. Frazer has seen action in 12 games for UConn over the past two seasons and has nine career starts. Frazer transferred to Connecticut from Notre Dame and sat out the 2007 season in Storrs. Frazer began the 2009 season as UConn's starting QB and led the Huskies to a win at Ohio. He was injured in the loss to North Carolina and did not play in the next five games. He was called into action on Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers when Cody Endres went down and was 21 of 46 for 333 yards, one TD and three interceptions. Frazer started the five games of 2009 and led the Huskies to wins in the final four. Following the three interceptions vs. Rutgers, he threw just to more in the next five games. He led his team to a double-OT win over his former school, Notre Dame, and was 12 of 25 for 141 yards against the Irish. He also enjoyed an outstanding game in the regular season final vs. USF as he was 20 of 30 for 225 yards and a pair of TDs. Frazer made his collegiate debut in UConn's win over Louisville in 2007 at quarterback for the Huskies. He came into the game late in the first half after starting QB TylerLorenzensuffered a broken foot. He led the Huskies to a come-from-behind win over Louisville as he was eight of 15 in the air for 90 yards and a touchdown -- despite not having played in an organized football game since his high school senior year of 2005 in Mechanicsburg, Pa. EXPERIENCEONTHELINE Todman, Frazer and company will have a chance to run the offense behind a very experienced line this year. UConn returns players that made 49 of the 65 starts on the offensive line. UConn's returning offensive linemen have made a total of 75 starts over their careers. Senior offensive guard ZachHurd (Waterford, Conn.) and junior center MoePetrus (St. Laurent, Que.) lead the way with 26 career starts. FREYLOOKINGFORBOUNCEBACK Junior RobbieFrey(Lehighton, Pa.) ended his season in 2009 on Oct. 31 as he suffered a knee injury against Rutgers. He also saw limited practice time during the spring. He has enjoyed a productive preseason camp and will be looking for playing time at both the tailback spot and on kickoff returns. Frey had a solid day returning kickoffs on October 24, 2009 vs. West Virginia as he had a career-high 136 yards on five returns. His high was 55 yards in the second quarter -- which set up a TD drive. He had three returns for 163 yards vs. Rutgers before a shoulder injury ended his day and season. He had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown vs. the Scarlet Knights -- the third in school history. . THERECEIVERSNEEDTOSTANDUP As experienced as UConn is in many areas of its team this year, it does lack that at the wide receiver position. UConn lost its top two receivers from last year in Marcus Easley (48 rec., 893 yards, 8 TD) and Brad Kanuch (27 rec., 325 yards and a TD). Those two combined for 75 of UConn's 214 receptions (35 percent) and nine of UConn's 16 receiving TDs (56.3 percent). UConn's leading returning receiver is redshirt junior IsiahMoore (Cambridge, Mass.), who had 24 receptions for 286 yards and a TD. Second is redshirt sophomore tight end RyanGriffin(Londonderry, N.H.) with 23 for 272 yards.
SHOEMATEJOINSTHEHUSKIES Tailback D.J.Shoemate (Corona, Calif.) enrolled at UConn in July. after spending his first two years at the University of Southern California. Shoemate is eligible to play at UConn immediately and has two years of eligibility remaining. Shoemate served as a backup fullback for the Trojans and played on special teams as a sophomore in 2009. He played in 12 games for USC and had a pair of carries for two yards and two receptions for 23 yards, including a 13-yard TD. Shoemate began 2008 as a wide receiver, and then was moved mid-season to fullback. He also played on special teams and played in a total of nine games. He enjoyed a tremendous career at Servite High School in AnaheimwherehewasteammateswithcurrentHuskyquarterbackJohnnyMcEntee.
DEFENSE NOTES
DEFENSEAMONGTHENATION'SBEST UConn's defensive unit was amongst the best in the nation in 2007 and 2008. In 2008, the UConn scoring defense was ranked 22nd in the country and third in the BIG EAST at 19.77 points per game and was sixth in the nation and first in the BIG EAST in total defense, giving up just 278.00 yards per game. UConn was also first in the league in pass efficiency defense and ninth in the country. WILSON,LINEBACKERSEXPERIENCED UConn senior linebacker Lawrence Wilson (Birmingham, Ala.) was the leading tackler on the Husky team with 140 stops and had 11 tackles for a loss and five sacks. He was a first team All-BIG EAST pick last year. He is part of a highly experrienced linebacker unit. Wilson has started 37 games during his career and all 13 last year. Joining him is senior GregLloyd (Clermont, Fla.), who has 20 career starts (most of them on the defensive line) and senior Scott Lutrus (Brookfield, Conn.) with 34. Lloyd was a second team All-BIG EAST pick and suffered a season-ending knee injury that also kept him out of spring practice. It was originally thought that Lloyd might have to miss this season as well, but he has recovered and will play. JOSEPHSTARTSRIGHTAWAY UConn sophomore Jesse Joseph (Laval, Que.) started his first career game for the Huskies in last year's opener. He became the first Husky to start as a true freshman in a season-opener since punter Shane Hussar in 2004. Tailback Terry Caulley and fullback Deon Anderson both started the season-opener as true freshmen in 2002. Joseph wound up starting all 13 games and had 38 tackles on the season. Joseph became the first player to start the opening game as a true freshman on defense in the UConn FBS era -- since 2002.

TEGGARTALREADYINRECORDBOOK Redshirt junior DaveTeggart (Northborough, Mass.) has connected on all 63 of his extra point attempts during his career -- including 47 last year. The 47-straight extra points ties a school record while its also the fourth-highest total in single-season history. Teggart ended the 2009 regular season in fine form as he booted a 42-yad field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 29-27 win over USF. He also kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:10 to go that tied the game vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 21) -- a contest the Huskies eventually won in overtime. He had a total of 14 field goals in 2009 which is tied as the fourth-highest in school history. Teggart made his collegiate debut on Oct. 25, 2008 as the Huskies' kicker and was an impressive four-for-four on field goals and also made four extra point attempts against Cincinnati. Teggartisthefirstkickerinschoolhistorytosuccessfully converthisfirst11fieldgoalattempts. SHOESTOFILLATPUNTING UConn lost a highly experienced punter from the last three years in Desi Cullen. Cullen graduated as the leading punter in school history in terms of average at 41.1 yards per boot. Last season, he averaged 42.8 yards per punt (another school record) and had two of the top six punting seasons in school history.
SELLOUTSTHENORM The Huskies have sold out 26 of their first 45 dates at Rentschler Field, including a stretch of 12inarow. UConn has played to 96-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 1,733,960 fans, or an average of 38,532 per game. RENTSCHLERFIELDPROVESFRIENDLYFORHUSKIES The Huskies went 7-0 at home in 2007 at Rentschler Field and 42 in 2005 after compiling a 6-1 home record in 2004. UConn's 3-4 mark at home in 2006 was its only sub-.500 record at Rentschler Field. The seven home wins in 2007 set a school record for a single season which was previously set in 2004. In the process, the Huskies joined the 1993 West Virginia Mountaineers as the only BIG EAST schools to ever post a perfect 7-0 home record. UConn presently stands at 33-12 all-time at Rentschler Field including a 19-4markinnon-conferencegames. MICHIGAN,TENNESSEEAMONGTHOSECOMINGTO RENTSCHLERFIELDINTHEFUTURE Following UConn's trip to Ann Arbor this weekend, the Wolverines will come to Rentschler Field on Sept. 21, 2013 to take on the Huskies. UConn will also play a home-and-home series with Tennessee beginning in 2015 with the Volunteers coming to Rentschler Field on Sept. 26 with a return trip to Knoxville on Sept. 3, 2016. Other upcoming non-conference opponents coming to Rentschler Field include Vanderbilt (2010), Iowa State (2011), North Carolina State (2012) and Maryland (2013). By the conclusion of the 2010 season, UConn will have played host to non-conference opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 10, Big XII and Southeastern Conference at Rentschler Field.
STADIUM/ATTENDANCE NOTES
RENTSCHLERFIELD The Huskies moved into brand new Rentschler Field in East Hartford for the 2003 season with the stadium opening its doors on August 30 when UConn defeated Indiana, 34-10. Conveniently located within miles of Interstates 91, 84 and 384, the home of the Huskies lies on 75 acres of land donated to the State of Connecticut from the historic Pratt & Whitney Airfield. The stadium, like the former airfield, is named for that company's founder, Frederick Rentschler. The stadium boasts a capacity of 40,000 with 38 luxury suites in a massive press box tower which helps enclose the natural grass field. AHOTTICKET Swelling interest in the Husky football program as it gradually moved up into BIG EAST play can perhaps be best evidenced by the rise in attendance. UConn sold 28,000 season tickets in 2008 and sold its entire allotment of student season tickets at 4,700. These figures are staggering sums considering that the entire 2001 season ticket base was around 4,000. In 2002, the number reached 11,300 in the final season of Memorial Stadium. The burgeoning season ticket base more than doubled to 24,000 for the inaugural season at Rentschler Field and rose to 28,000 a year later in 2004. UConn reached an all-time high of 32,000 season tickets in 2005.
